Not that Rich would have any idea what being friendly is, either.

I just calls it like I see it, too.

Well I learned it from you.  You're the master pal.  smile

And I do the same.  Believe me Jim the feeling is mutual.  wink

Hi Brian:

It is a Solar Spectrum SO1.5  https://solarspectrumopticalfilters.com/

I've owned it for over a decade, maybe 15 years.  When I bought it the blocker and trim filters in front of the etalon were implemented with "soft coated" filter elements.  That was all they had.  Lifespan of about 10 years.   Now there are hard coated blocker and trim filters made by semiconductor thin film deposition techniques, should last forever.   The owner of Solar Spectrum, Mark Wagner, is a great guy, but it did take a year for the replacement trim and blocker filters.   Jim

At least Purdue made the NCAA tournament. Michigan can’t even win in the NIT, they were up by 8 with 56 seconds left against Vanderbilt and lost.
Glad to see Michigan State win in a nice upset.  Izzo sure knows how to coach come tournament time!

Rich the victim.  Did any of you catch the recent South Park spoofing Harry and Megan, where everyone was working on their personal brand?  Things like "white, gay, victim."  'Black, trans, victim..."  You get the idea - everyone's "brand" is to be a victim nowadays.  Rich is bleeding edge with the personal branding. 

"Maga man, internet crank, victim..."  Jim

Never said I was the victim, but if that is the best you've got counselor...  well. we know you will continue to avoid the tough questions and hide under your desk every time you're challenged.

Tell me all the great things that the corrupt President you voted into office has done.  I mean we all realize that you voted for Biden to satiate the irrational TDS that lives in your brain.  

But maybe you can delineate for all of us, the great achievements that your Joe Biden has offered to this nation to make it so much better.

Was it his open border policy?  His 7+ Trillion dollar proposed budget?  The fentanyl crisis that he's done nothing to stop yet, which has resulted in over 100,000 American deaths per year?  

Or was it that he let his corrupt crack addicted son whom he lent his name so that same crack addicted son could sell access to our mortal enemy the Chinese gov't, in which he enriched his family and himself while skimming 10% off the top?

Or was it his brilliant move in moving out of Afghanistan with no plan at all, that winded up killing 13 US soldiers that day he scurried out with his tail between his legs?

Are any of those wonderful things what you are most proud of Joe Biden for doing? 

If not, perhaps you can name 4 or 5 great agenda items that Joe Biden has given the American people over the last 2 years?

Oh no, not 4?  Well maybe just 3? No?  How about 2 great achievements that your President has given us?

1?  smile

Man, have you ever drunk the MAGA kool-aid. We've already gone though Biden's accomplishments in prior threads on the subject. INFRASTRUCTURE ring a bell? How about capping insulin at $35 bucks a month for the millions who need it. And that's just to name a few. 1.5 million illegal immigrants kicked out of the USA. Ask them if we have an open border...

I was thinking the same thing when I read Rich's post. All it proves is that he consumes a lot of right-wing rhetoric and propaganda.

LOL   Pointing out what you and the rest of your leftist clan do and informing Greg of why I give it right back in spades to you and the rest of your buffoonish buddies is called explaining myself to Greg.

If it makes you feel as if you're winning some sort of battle, then have at it counselor.  And if that makes you think I'm feeling sorry for myself, then believe whatever you like captain RINO.  wink

I've said many times on this forum that you're a left wing fraud and I'll stand by that All day long.    smile
